The Billionaire-Owned, Corporate Media is as Worthless as Ever

I think the U.S. citizenry is being afflicted by a sort
of mass insanity at the moment. There are no good outcomes if this
continues. As a result, I feel compelled to provide a voice for those of
us lost in the political wilderness. We must persevere and not be
manipulated into the obvious and nefarious divide and conquer tactics
being aggressively unleashed across the societal spectrum. If we lose
our grounding and our fortitude, who will be left to speak for those of
us who simply don’t fit into any of the currently ascendant political
ideologies?

Rather than focus its journalistic energy on chronicling the economic
insecurity plaguing so many of our fellow Americans, the
billionaire-owned corporate media appears entirely obsessed
with chattering endlessly about Russia conspiracy theories and domestic
coup plots. Instead of looking in the mirror and admitting how its
countless errors and propaganda pushing led to multiple humanitarian
disasters over the last couple of decades, the oligarch-owned mainstream
media insists upon a narrative that Trump the individual is at the root
of our problems, as opposed to an entrenched executive branch with
excessive power. This is because the mainstream media isn’t actually
concerned about our cancerous, systemic metastasizing statism, it merely
doesn’t want Trump in charge of it. I, on the other hand, want to
dismantle that unconstitutional state entirely and transfer power to the
American people where it belongs — self-government. Does anyone actually think for a second the media would be this adversarial if Hillary won?
